Exterior
Procedure
Power
washing is always recommended prior to painting or staining. We offer
power washing as a part of our service. Loose paint chips are swept
up. House will be given a day to dry.
House
will be scraped, sanded, caulked and primed if necessary. Windows will
be glazed if needed. Drop cloths are set to catch loose chips. We like
to prep the entire house before painting. Complete stripping of paint
and minor wood repair "by patching" is done only if customer
requests it.
Drop
cloths are set on roofs and/or ground to catch drips. House is then
painted or stained. One coat is applied unless requested to do otherwise.
This will be discussed at time of estimate.
There
will be daily clean ups. All garbage is removed from job site. Any touch-up
paint is left with the customer.
Touch-ups
are performed. If you are not happy we are not happy.
